TV Ad

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced today the release of a new national security-themed television ad that is part of a seven-figure ad push that began two weeks ago.

The 30-second ad titled “Secure”cements Dr. Paul’s reputation as a leader who is fully prepared to deal with authentic threats to U.S. national security and ready to be the nation’s commander-in-chief. The spot will air beginning today on cable and broadcast television in the key early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

“Ron Paul is the only Republican presidential candidate to put forth the notion that a strong national defense means ending destructive unconstitutional wars having an unclear connection to national security, ending costly state-building in regions where our presence is unwanted, and bringing hundreds of thousands of troops home to make America safer and cut overseas spending,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.

“This ad will affirm Dr. Paul’s standing as the best candidate to face issues pertaining to national security all in the context of refocusing our efforts on protecting America’s borders and threats that might arrive on America’s soil, not foreign lands,” said Mr. Benton.

New Ron Paul Campaign Ad to Run Nationwide During GOP Debate‘Trust’ ad will show on national television to debate audience

LAKE JACKSON, Texas– The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced a day after the release of its latest advertisement, “Trust”, that the spot will be running twice nationally during tonight’s Republican presidential debate. The ad draws a sharp contrast, pointing out Paul’s longtime conservative credentials and early support of Ronald Reagan, while pointing out Rick Perry’s former chairmanship of Al Gore’s presidential campaign.

“With the airing of this ad nationally during the debate we want to point out that Congressman Paul has an unparalleled record of championing true conservative principles, and his message of limited Constitutional government, sound money and balanced budgets have won the day,” said Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton. “Other candidates are parroting Dr. Paul's principles in their rhetoric, but their records prove they cannot be trusted to live up to their words.”

The ad also notes the similarities between the candidacies of Paul and Reagan, with both being attacked by the political establishment as “too extreme” and questioning their electability. Reagan, like Paul, was dismissed by the establishment elites. Congressman Paul was one of only four Congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan against incumbent Gerald Ford and lead the Texas delegation for Reagan to the 1976 Republican National Convention.

Ron Paul’s Reagan RevisionismHis ad refers to him as “the one who stood with Reagan”…His 1987 resignation letter indicates Reagan drove him from the Republican Party

AUSTIN – Rep. Ron Paul’s newly released attack ad refers to the congressman as, “the one who stood with Reagan.” But his 1987 letter announcing his resignation from the Republican Party indicates Reagan drove him from the party.

“Ronald Reagan was one of the most significant presidents of our generation, and a proven fiscal conservative,” Perry spokesman Mark Miner said. “Like President Reagan, Gov. Perry has cut taxes and freed employers from government regulations that kill jobs.”

“Rep. Paul’s letter is a broadside attack on every element of President Reagan’s record and philosophy. Paul thought President Reagan was so bad, he left the GOP,” said Miner. “It will be interesting to hear Rep. Paul explain why Reagan drove him from the party at tomorrow’s debate on the grounds of the Reagan Library.”

In one part of the letter, Paul wrote, “There is no credibility left for the Republican Party as a force to reduce the size of government. That is the message of the Reagan years.”

Paul continued, “Thanks to the President and Republican Party, we have lost the chance to reduce the deficit and the spending in a non-crisis fashion. Even worse, big government has been legitimized in a way the Democrats never could have accomplished.”

Paul even went so far as to call Reaganomics, “warmed-over Keynesianism.”

Paul summarizes his reason for leaving the Republican Party with the following tirade: “I want to totally disassociate myself from the policies that have given us unprecedented deficits, massive monetary inflation, indiscriminate military spending, an irrational and unconstitutional foreign policy, zooming foreign aid, the exaltation of international banking, and the attack on our personal liberties and privacy.”

Urbandale, Iowa - Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann announced today the launch of a third television ad entitled "Believe It" which airs statewide in Iowa beginning on Wednesday, August 3, 2011.

The following is text of the "Believe It" ad:

"Back in Washington, politicians are looting the treasury and bankrupting our nation. And Barack Obama has driven our economy into a ditch. Someone needs to say 'no.' I voted against raising the debt limit because it's time to balance the budget and pay down the debt. I mean it… and you can believe it. I'm Michele Bachmann, candidate for President, and I approve this message. Won't you join me here in Ames for the Straw Poll, and let's send a message to Washington."

Washington, D.C. - The Bachmann for Presidentcampaign announced today the launch of a new television ad entitled "Waterloo" which highlights Michele Bachmann's Iowa roots and her efforts to fight wasteful spending in Washington. The following ad will run statewide in Iowa starting Thursday, July 7, 2011.

"As a descendant of generations of Iowans, I was born and raised in Waterloo.

As a mom of five, a foster parent, and a former tax lawyer, and now a small business job creator, I know we can't keep spending money that we don't have.

That's why I fought against the wasteful bailout... against the stimulus.
